Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I have heard that part of the point is so that parents cannot understand the conversation. It is not a side effect, it is the point.
This is one of those things that sounds like it could be true... Until you think about it at all. Think about the words you used as a child compared to how your parents talked.
Go look at 70's and 80's slang and consider if people spoke that way because they were trying to be sneaky, or if they were just trying to sound "hip".
